Just added "video=VGA1:800x600" to end of linux line (without the quotes) and booted (<CTRL-X>), No change in the outcome.
I did a diff between this Xorg.0.log and one previously without that option. It made no difference. Here is the diff: $ diff Xorg.0.log_withKVM Xorg.0.log 7,9c7,9 < Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic root=UUID=5a4c1fd6-dd2e-4bf1-b39e-868aaba80337 ro quiet splash < Build Date: 15 April 2010 11:05:58PM < xorg-server 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu5 (Bryce Harrington <br...@ubuntu.com>) --- > Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-21-generic > root=UUID=5a4c1fd6-dd2e-4bf1-b39e-868aaba80337 ro quiet splash > video=VGA1:800x600 > Build Date: 23 April 2010 05:11:46PM > xorg-server 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7 (Bryce Harrington <br...@ubuntu.com>) 16c16 < (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Fri Apr 23 09:33:52 2010 --- > (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Mon Apr 26 10:43:56 2010 -- gdm fails to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554023 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
